wow!! all of that's pretty interesting stuff. I have only owned my chinnies since June and i have been steadily learning more and more about them. I was genuinely curious about the fresh foods part because I have honestly never heard of anyone giving chinchillas fresh foods. It seems like you've...
You could also get a play pen and just block off the cabinets and behind the fridge with it. I let my chinnies roam my bedroom but I block off my dresser and nightstand because they have wires behind them
Hi!! welcome to cnh! I always keep slabs of marble in my chinnie cage for them to lay on. I keep 4, 2 in the cage, 2 in the fridge and i switch them at the beginning and end of the day
i dont know if they ship to the UK but these are what i have...
so i was at the vet the other day with my 3 chinnies, and she's a new veterinarian about 5 years out of school, and she told me all of these things about chinchillas that i wasn't really aware of. She sent me a handout from one of her classes at PennVet about chinchillas and i wanted to ask how...

Go to cage accessories and scroll down. I attached a screen shot of what they look like on her website.
I have them in my cage and wake up with only one or two poopies on the floor :)
When I first got my chinnie she would bark when I came near the cage but was super loving during playtime. I just sat next to the cage and spoke softly and when she stopped barking I would place my hand in and let her slowly adjust to me being in her space. I would do this every day and now...
So I posted in another topic that my chinchilla was a standard gray and found out she was a beige so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if that's true and what the other two are. The lady who sold me them told me that chewy was standard gray and the other two were standard dark. I took all...
Okay. They just always put their little paws up against the cage when I come home from work and it was really heart breaking but I guess their just a little upset about the schedule change.
So, I know its really good for a chinchilla to get supervised playtime for at least a half hour every day so I usually give my 3 girls 1-3 hours a day (usually they're all pooped by the 3rd hour so they hop in their cage on their own)
But for the past 3 days I've been so busy at work and had to...
This is an actual chinchilla rescue place??! How is that even possible that someone with that little amount of knowledge was able to start a rescue? They should be shut down
